[105 x 105 cm]. You will have the pattern to keep (RRP &pound;9.99) with instructions and colour photos.&nbsp;

Initially we will learn how to cut accurately using the rotary cutter and rulers. &nbsp;Then moving on to creating the blocks. &nbsp;Then piecing the quilt top. &nbsp;Once all that cutting and stitching is done we will create a quilt sandwich and quilt using the machine. &nbsp;&nbsp;Last but not least we will learn how to attach and finish the binding. &nbsp;

Every session will be held in the sewing studio upstairs at Stitching Kitchen, we will stop for a cuppa and cake half way through. &nbsp;
I can&rsquo;t wait to get started and see how you get along with your Tea with Penelope quilt.&nbsp;

Approx. Size: 54" x 54"
This quilt is designed to showcase fussy-cut fabric pieces that are appliquéd onto the quilt blocks. The intricate details are achieved by using larger appliqué pieces, keeping the overall process simple and beginner-friendly. Each week, we will focus on different techniques and blocks to build your quilt step-by-step.
Over the five three hour sessions you will learn how to applique, create flying geese,  corner stones, triangle blocks, piano keys border.  Janine will also guild you on to adjusting your borders to make your quilt balanced.

Once you have finished the quilt top you can either quilt on your domestic machine - we can support you with this.   Alternatively you could take advantage of Janine's long arm quilting services.

'I have completed this course this weekend and really enjoyed myself. I brushed up on some techniques I already knew, and can now see some new ideas for them. I really enjoyed the new techniques that I had shied away from before, as I thought they would be too tricky! The tutorial videos are very clear with great demos. Can't wait to experiment more.'

This course utilises drawing as a process to play with both traditional materials, and textile processes to develop playfulness and experimentation as a tool for design and art directions. It will consider DIY approaches to tool and material making, while questioning our motivations and needs to utilise drawing as a vital tool in a creative practice.



WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR:
This course is suitable for anyone, from those new to textiles, through to experienced makers who want to explore or refresh ways of thinking. You may be a teacher or lecturer looking to recharge your creative batteries, a student who wants to further your current knowledge, or maybe outside of formal education and fancy trying something outside of your usual remit.



WHAT TO EXPECT:
This approach to creativity focuses on a playful and ‘what if’ method of developing ideas for future designs or art directions through drawing. Mark-making, form creation, repetition and colour trials will be used as a basis to explore drawing through patchwork, weaving and hand stitched quilting. While you may choose to develop ideas onto ‘finished’ artefacts, drawings or designs, the series focuses on ideas generation as a part of the whole creative process.
We spend so much time thinking through ideas to completion, often before we even put pen to paper. What might happen if we think through such things while actually engaging in making, playfulness and ‘just doing stuff’ so, that we build an engaging and rich resource of research? Drawing can also be a challenge that brings anxiety, but a free approach to what might constitute drawing can often release those super exciting but unexpected ideas – that frequently never surface when we are rigid in our thinking.

 



WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
While we may have a host of glorious materials and tools available to us, this course will focus on using more every day and accessible materials with extensions suggested as to how ideas may evolve with a broader range of medium etc. In terms of fabrics and threads, it can be with scraps that you have available, old items of clothing or cloth and yarn that has been bought specifically for this.
Key items may include the following: (detailed list will be supplied once you sign up)
General drawing materials: 
Pencils
Pens
Paints and/or inks
Pastels
Tapes
Glue
Tools: 
Scissors
Brushes
Sewing needles [various sizes]
Palette
Water pot
Grounds:

Sketchbook for recording
Documenting and working in
Fabrics [scraps + 1/2m plain fabric]

PROGRAMME:
Once you have signed up to the full course, you will have access to a full materials list and a video to help you prepare before you join a session, this will include information about colour and potential subject choices which you can take as a starting point or, ignore and focus on a subject / colour story of your own choosing.
PRE-COURSE MATERIALS:
A] Confined drawing video. Suggest completing before the live sessions, but not essential.
B] Pre-session planning. This video should be watched before you start the course to help you prepare and gather the things you will need.
